Direct CAD to CFD

FloEFD.V5 directly uses CATIA V5 geometry and uses solid model information such as features and parameters to help you simulate your designs in real-word conditions. Direct use of CATIA V5 geometry is an extremely powerful feature since it provides you with functionality that is not easily offered by other CFD programs.

For example, t raditional CFD programs require you to create additional solid parts to represent the fluid (empty) regions – an extremely time-consuming process since you need to identify each region manually and then create geometry to fill it. But FloEFD.V5 automatically differentiates between the two for internal and external flows and automatically represents the fluid domain. As a result, FloEFD.V5 frees you from the hassle of creating unnecessary geometry just to prepare a solid model for analysis.

Also, since you’re using the same exact geometry for CAD and analysis, you maintain one set of data across your product design process and your analysis is always in tune with your design.
